2-Bromoaniline (o-Bromoaniline) is a halogenated aromatic amine widely used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. This compound exhibits a melting point of 32°C, boiling point of 229°C at 760 mmHg, and density of 1.578 g/cm³. With its amino and bromo substituents in ortho-position, it serves as a versatile intermediate for coupling reactions and heterocycle formation. The material should be stored under inert atmosphere (nitrogen/argon) at 2-8°C, protected from light. Safety precautions include wearing gloves/eye protection due to toxicity (GHS Category 3) and potential to form explosive diazonium salts.
